Aji amarillo peppers are a staple of Nikkei cuisine, often paired with seafood from Peru’s Pacific coast. Here, Kaiyo Rooftop utilizes them in beef empanadas.
Inspired by a mojito (and an anime character), this drink is centered on pisco made by a renowned Peru distillery. The team at Kaiyo Rooftop in San Francisco adds white miso syrup and lime-yuzu soda.
